My Project

I am an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher who works with immigrant and refugee students in an urban middle school. Recently, thanks to donors like you, we were able to set up a cozy reading corner in our classroom. I am asking for floor cushions and a saucer chair to provide comfortable seating for more students.

Crocus bulbs will be used as part of an outdoors activity where students will set goals for the coming months and evaluate their progress towards these goals when the crocus plants begin to bloom in the late winter and early spring.

Snacks are always welcome in any classroom.

Your support will allow my students to continue building English and literacy skills while they read and carry out engaging activities on our campus. We appreciate your support.
